TRon Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 2 players should have been signed already. Another 2/3 defeats and its all over. I think it is already tbh, although some of the shite around us might be a saving grace depending on your point of view of what that means. I don't think there is much shite around us. Apart from Aston Villa and Sunderland There are a few clubs that are pretty shite like Norwich and Bournemouth, but they appear to have more fight and drive than us. Whether Steve McC can instill that desire with a cheery smile and an encouraging word seems to be in some doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think most clubs are turbo-s*** in the bottom 6-8 places. We've dropped so many f***ing points that could and should have been solved by the proper CB and CF purchases. Southampton (H), Chelsea (H), Stoke (H), Villa (H), should have all been 3 points each (+12 points) and Everton + Arsenal should have been at least 1 point each (+2 points total). So for the sake of the give or take and luck of the ball - lets just say between 8 and 10 points more. That's 25 to 27 points or 13th to 11th. I'm not even going to list the Sunderland (A) or Arsenal (H) matches with the red cards that sealed our fates. Our transfer policy coupled with our manager, very simple reason why we've made our bed to be laying in the bottom 3 spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The league as a whole is dreadful this year. More open and entertaining, perhaps. I agree with Kanji. The majority of the bottom half is pretty shit. There are teams in the top half who haven't even been particularly great this season. It's so inconsistent. I've not looked at the table for a while. I don't dare! But with the way everyone is taking points off each other. I'm sure a mini run of form could shoot us up the league. I'm sure we can go on a run of form. We just need to start scoring, stop conceding horrible goals and actually go into games with a plan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah scoring goals and stopping them is pretty fundamental to winning games and we are one of the worst teams in the division at both jobs. Pus we've got a shit midfield as well. So I'm not really seeing where the belief comes from that we can go on a mini run of wins to shoot us up the league. We seem much better at going mini runs of losses tbh.

You've got mid-table teams with the likes of Lukaku, Deulofeu, Barkley....Shaqiri, Bojan, Arnautovic....Cabaye, Zaha, Bolasie. I think it's the best the league has ever been. Teams can beat the 'top' sides more regularly as a result and everything seems closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can beat the 'top' sides more regularly as a result and everything seems closer. I agree with this, it's levelled out a lot and is loads more competitive. Reckon the overall quality and entertainment value has been canny this year as well. Might be a result of the increased telly money for the also-rans, coupled with the waste we've seen from the recent top sides. I'd rather have a league like this than the ones we've seen in recent years, just a shame NUFC can't be arsed to be a part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The quality is bang average, which is why teams like Leicester are at the top. It's more competitive and therefore maybe more entertaining as nearly everyone has dragged it down to the same mediocre standard but there's nothing quality about it objectively.

Interpolic Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 NUFC being morons aside, it would be a canny move for him if he's trying to get into the France squad. Guaranteed starts and a few players around him that would complement his style, at a club he's already scored loads of goals at. Seems too good to be true, I'll never be ecstatic about stopgap signings but needs-must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're at the top because Vardy & Mahrez have been phenomenal, and teams who ordinarily wouldn't be good enough to beat the big clubs, are able to take points off them without it being a surprise due to them now having genuine quality.
